ok first off seems previous questions maybe mistaken for the GTO.
The FTO much smaller and lighter than the GTO and is front wheel drive. Never been 4wd and if they have extremely rare no rear wheel drive. Its about as reliable as any other mitsubishi and comes with a few different engine options. The v6 quad cam engine can go through some gas but it only now with petrol the way it is you would consider it a thirsty car. From my years of working as a mechanic for mitsubishi the only real things that i remember about them (which is a good thing) was the breaks seem to squeek on alot, Stepper motors, some Autos had problems and also some had abs problems with the wheel speed sensors getting stone damage. If your tall the head room fairly poor and large blind spots on the rear when reversing. so long as they maintained they are a reliable car

CT has it spot on, and you can change some of the negatives ro positives. Change some of the materials and remove unnecessary equipment to bring weight down and so increase mileage. You can’t change anything else, but nothings perfect!

+ It’s fast
+ It’s got one of Mitsubishi’s best engines (6G72)
+ It’s availible with All Wheel Drive
+ It’s available as a hardtop convertible
+ It’s available twin-turbocharged
- It gets bad gas mileage compared to some cars
- It’s heavy
- It’s expensive to maintain
- It breaks down fairly often
- It will make you broke
- It will make you wish you bought a car that isn’t as heavy and doesn’t break as much
